Tax Lien School helps people learn how to invest in tax lien certificates and tax deeds. In many U.S. counties, when property owners do not pay their property taxes, the local government sells a tax lien certificate or a tax deed to recover unpaid taxes. Investors can buy these certificates at auction and earn interest when the owner pays the taxes. Returns are not guaranteed, but in some states, investors can earn between 6 % and 36 % per year. Because there are more than 3,300 counties and each one has its own rules, tax lien investing can be confusing. Tax Lien School was created to provide accurate, state‑by‑state information, training and tools that make it easier for anyone to start.

For example, Illinois can pay up to 36 % per year with a 2½‑year redemption period, Iowa offers 24 % with a one‑year redemption, and Texas pays a 25 % penalty on redemption. Georgia offers 20 %, while Florida auctions certificates starting at 18 %.
